Chapter 5

The last few days were work filled and I have had no time for myself. People were running in and out of the castle while we set up for the upcoming ball, which was only a couple of days away. The civilians have been wondering what’s been going on, but they will know soon because today is the day that I will announce Jack and I’s marriage plans.

I slammed my room door shut and was glad to finally have some time to myself, though I had to get ready for my big speech today.

I dug through my closet to find something that was suitable for the event. I pulled out a mint green collared gown. The gown was embellished with floral designs along the neckline and waistline. I slipped the dress on quickly and pulled my hair up into a neat bun. My bangs fell neatly on the right as I pinned a few loose strands on the sides.

The makeup that I had already applied today fit with the dress so I just let it be. I then walked out of my room and down the hall. One of the men I had been working with to set this whole thing up walked up to me. I couldn’t remember his name so I just greeted him.

“Good Morning sir, are we all set for today?” I asked formally.

“Yes, everything is in position and your speech will be starting in ten minutes. I assume that you are prepared your Majesty?”

“Yes, thank you for all of your  help over the past few days, it has been much appreciated.” I thanked him with a small bow of my head. He returned the thank you as he walked off. I followed behind knowing that he was taking me to my position before the speech. We walked outside to an open area inside the gates. There was a wooden podium in the middle where people were already gathering for the big announcement. I took a deep breath as butterflies began to flutter in me. I’ve always had stage fright and being closed in for most of my life doesn’t help that fact at all. I tried to manage to keep my cool while I waited for everyone to arrive. I then began wishing that Jack were here; I know he’d probably be talkative around me but he would keep me calm for the time being. I still hadn’t seen Jack since the date and I was beginning to worry about him. I hope he comes by later today.

 “All right your Majesty, you may stand to the podium now,” a man instructed me. I slowly walked over to the podium and stood before all of my loyal subjects. Each one of them had a smile on their face and a look of interest. Here we go.“My loyal subjects, as you know I have been planning to make this big announcement for a couple days and now is the time to reveal my news.” I took a moment of silence before I continued on.

“Recently I have been given an order to find a suitable King for Arendelle, and ladies and gentlemen I have found one.” I spoke out as everyone’s expression brightened.

“We are to be wedded at the end of this week… Unfortunately the wedding is to be private. But to make up for it I am throwing a ball this Wednesday here at the castle.” Everyone gasped in joy. They were happy to know that another ball was going to be thrown here in Arendelle. I’m not one who enjoys balls after the incident a year ago but I shall give it another try. At least Jack will be there if anything goes wrong.

“I ask you if you’d please come and join me that day in celebration of my upcoming marriage. I promise you it will not be like the last time,” I stated, trying to persuade my subjects. They all began to applaud me and I smiled out to all of them. I was happy to know that everything went well and none of them were upset to miss my wedding.
